He squeezes your left ring finger, glaring at you like a cat. Even though he's not even old enough to get married, this line has become a routine. You've even grown used to the 'how sweet' looks from your mother and the neighbors that tell the story of your families' close relationship.

It's not exactly because he's a brat, but... he's like a younger brother, a cute puppy. He doesn't even understand yet that the first hurdle is whether you can even feel that way about him. He only recently reached your chest in height, and his hands are still soft and chubby. With a lollipop always in his mouth, he looks like a child no matter how you slice it. Yet, oblivious to your feelings, his adorable advances have grown heavier by the day ever since you told him you were moving.

You figured if you just brushed him off, he'd eventually stop looking at someone who moved away and find someone nice his own age. That's what you thought. Until that day.
